Special Dispatch to The Tritune, New You, July 18.—Carolan O'Brian Bryant, who was engaged for sume tine in efforts to Promote Tieed's release on condition of full confession and restitution of atl property under ‘Tweed's control, is about to publish in letters: to Attorncy-Cicncral Fairchild some additional views behind the seenes in relation to Tweed and the Ring. Bryant clainis to have abandoned Tweed, when abundant evidence showed that the latter was piaying false, making fruudulent vonfessjons, stnutting innocent persons in the hope of thus purchasing inimunity for btmeself, and concealing millions of dollurs of hla fl- gotten yalus while pretending they had been lost fin reat estate deprestion, or squandered Inefightlog the courts. Bryant refers to Charies O'Conor and Tilden a witnesses that he had been the consistent ad- versary of the Tweed gan, ofl only became ‘Tweerd'’s agent to usalst In effecting: * TH ARSULUTE BORRENDER PROPOSED. Among Tweed’s disclosures tu him was a Iet- ter from Charles O*'Conor to Mnkerton’s De- tective Agency, which Tweed claimed had been turned over to him for a bonus aud liberal per diem, It related to the Ring fugittves, aud was shown to Uryant as eviderce how well Tweed bad been Informed of what was being done by bis pursuers. Bryant says O'Conor in dghtlug the Ring recotyed his chief ald frou the press, which, with few exceptions, made nnanimous battle against the robbers and their frionds, The greatgst task has been to mect the mercenary method of Iswyers in thelr echemo for perpetual divisions and disputes, wilh was their patent method for extorting fees. This he inferentially applica especially to Twoed's preseut counsel, Tuwneend. Betore Tweed's return from Spain, his secretary oud other friends ugreed upon a plan to be cn- forced upon him,of giving up all fur ther litigation and omukiug unqualitled surrender substantially in. the terms of the penitential Ietter subsequently addressed O'Conor. ‘That Ictter and Its plan of reatitution originated with Tweed’s most trusted friend, A.D, Arber, of Utica, tho ‘WELL-ENOWN LONDY-CIIEP, O'Conor took no action under the letter, He and Tilden bere closed the great legul contest in tho Ring cases ond withdrew from it. ‘Then the whulo subject reverted to the Attorncy-Gen- eral.
